Is anyone here from the Netherlands who has applied for DTV?

Hi guys. I was meant to be going to Hong Kong on Wednesday to apply for my Non B working visa having previously been on a non O visa. Plan was land Wednesday, Consulate Thursday, collect docs Friday and return to BK Saturday. Work have just called to say I can't do that now as need to spend 6 days out the country, as I need to arrive and they then have to apply for WP whilst out the country. I'm sure I read the other day that HK was one of the easiest for Non Immigrant B. Work are insistent I only go to Singapore or Hong Kong. Are they right about 6 days away or wrong? Seems extravagant. Thanks
